Description:

HArd vertical face on small slopers leads to a rest before a roof. Easier if you go right then over the roof, then back left, but hard to clip the bolts. Straight over the bolt line feels more like 5.12

4 out of 5 stars great!

dont care what the other review said. this climb was Killer!!!
not contrived. you're straight over the bolt line the whole time. 11b crux in the middle with a weird 2 finger pocket/stack. then crank straight through a crimpy roof! SICK!
